And I am not one that despises change. I grew up in constant change. I have gotten used to change. I am okay with change and I can adapt just fine. But lately, I have been growing weary of change. And weary of no change.
Have you ever experienced a season of your life that seems like there is constant change, but at the same time no change at all? If you have then you know exactly what I am talking about. And if you haven't, try to imagine that it is winter and there is snow covering the ground and ice on the pools and rivers, but it is 95 degrees outside and you are sweating (and the snow and ice are not cold like the normally would be). You want to walk outside and feel the sunshine on your skin and you want to feel that still cold splash of water that hits your face as you first jump into the pool, but no matter how hot it gets the snow and ice won't melt. You can only imagine how quickly you would get tired of trying.
Yes that may defy all the rules and sound like I am crazy, but that is the best way I can explain this feeling to you. The feeling of so many things changing on a daily basis, but the underlying foundation stays the same.
And here is the place that I wish I could write my great revelation, or solution on how to get past this point of your life, but the only thing that I can come up with is that you have to keep on keeping on; that you have to keep adapting and overcoming. And that you have to remember that you cannot control the actions of another person, or how they treat you, but that you can change how you reply. You can reply in two ways: react or respond. When you react you loose control of your words and your actions, but when you respond you are able to control your words and your actions.
So my friends, hang in there and keep on keeping on! I will be praying for all of you!
And just a song to lift up your spirits!:
